Dara Calleary (Mayo, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

The 128,000 people who are seeking further employment are constrained in finding it. They see others finding full-time employment, while they remain in part-time employment. While I accept that there has been a fall, we are still 3% or 4% above the EU average according to EUROSTAT figures. Does this point to the danger of focusing efforts on job creation in part-time sectors and sectors which offer zero hour contracts and low wages? What assistance is the Minister providing, in working with the Tánaiste and employers, in moving people from part-time to full-time work? Is there co-ordination?
